Summer Lassitude the Chief Characteristic
of the Local Markets.


of the Local Markets. ftf
INDIANAPOLIS July 81.
The bottom is out of business for the time being
everybody doing as little as possible and en-
deavoring to keep cool The heat not being quite
so severe on Monday and Tuesday more activity
was noticeable, but to-day trade quiet in all
departments Even the grocers admitted that
it was an off day Everybody was hunting the
shade. There is growing anxiety to the
corn CROP so hot and dry has it been for some
weeks past. But it is said that in but few
places has the crop suffered to any extent
yet, and early rains would insure an average
crop The dry goods men putting their
goods in order, preparing for the coming fall
trade, which they are sanguine is to be
highly satisfactory. Druggists having a
busy time for July, which indicates the one
hand that there is good deal of sickness, and
on the other that there is this year being used
an unusually large quantity of oils and paints,
as the sales have been large for weeks past. The
provision market is in strong position, and
holders of hog products will make no concessions
effect sales. The produce men doing
something, but 1t is dull with them. Berries of
all kinds about out of the market; the few
arriving are dried up, inferior Stock But few
choice peaches are coming in; there are plenty
of small. unpalatable ones, and they sell much
too high when quality Is considered. Choice
butter is becoming scarce article and higher
prices are in prospect unless there is soon lib
eral fall of rain. In groceries there is nothing
new note. Prices have taken a steady,
strong tone most articles. Coffees are firm;
the same is trne of sugars In teas but little is
doing. Buyers waiting the arrival of the
Suez steamers due the first week in August.
GRAIN.
The local wheat market was cent higher on
the better grades than OF Tuesday. Receipts
are still large. There was a dizziness in the bid
ing on Change which showed that dealers were
not very anxious to buy at the bids they made.
Corn is in much the same position as for some
days past; on light receipts prices are firm
There is an active demand for home consump.
tion Oats were in better demand than on
Tuesday. Early arrivals and futures in good re-
quest at quotations. Track bids to-day ruled as

Beecher's Revelations.
voice..

Five years ago, at a time when Henry
Ward Beecher was the subject of strong
criticism throughout the country conse-
quent upon his revelation Of doctrines,
which by reason Of their being contrary
to the popular standard Of Bible belief,
were regarded ~ heretical and incon-
sistent with Bible teachings, he deliver
ed sermon in Plymouth church in
which he said:
"This month completes the thirty
fifth year in which l have been the
preacher in this church-since the I'd
day of October, 1917. ! have net chang
ed the line Of my preaching from that
day. / have adopted no new thing that
1 had not at least some conception of in
my mind when l came here. | think |
could say Of one-half my of
thirty-ive years ago. Il believe them
still and Of the other half, poor as they
are and imperfect, yet | believed always
that / was attempting to preach the
truth of the power OF God for the saliva
ton Of men. Nobody can put a lower
estimate upon my ministry than | do.
1t is very little to me what men think
about that. | am not to be Judged by
being compared with other men, but
with God and by the work | have done.
| have never preached what l did not
believe; | have never asked myself
whether to preach a truth that / did be-
lieve would be popular or unpopular. !
have never been afraid Of men, though
| have been afraid of God rs the child
is afraid Of the father it loves. The
whole conception Of life that | have had
has been to serve my fellow men, and
when, in the day that men despised the
poor, oppressed negroes that could not
plead their own cause, | was more than
willing, | was inexpressibly grateful, to
be permitted to stand for them, and not
to forsake them until they were clothed
in the majesty of equal rights by the
great revolution. / attempted all my
life long to take the part Of those who
had no defender and l have done it.
And in all matters in my W church |
have steadily sought one thing-to re-
produce, the lieaments Of 1.-THE Lord Jusus
Christ in your hearts. 1.-THE day should
come when | could not avail myself of
every revelation of God in nature-if
the day should come in which you
would not bear or forbear, | should de-
part. l should say, my work is done,
the harvest is gathered, and my life is
ended"

Deadwood's Chinese population,

The Deadwood Times in a recent is
sue, thus describes a deplorahle local
feature Of that much mentioned mining
metropolis:
This is emphatically a Chinese town,
and in no town Of its size in America
are Cinnamon patronlzed and todied to,
as they are in Deadwood.
They started in with laundries and
gradually absorbed and captured the
entire washee business. They drowned
and drove out all opposition, poor white
women with dependent families could
in nowise compete with them.
They have erected brick and stone
fire proof buildings, and have filed
with stocks Of goods, and are to-day
competing with u merchants in the
sales of silks, teas and other articles.
They now own and run successfully
two first-class restaurants, and it 10 a
fact that they have a larger patronage
than other eating houses in close prox-
unity.
They raise pigs and chickens at a
great profit off Of the offal gathered
from the refuse of the hotel tobles. 1t
is also true that they pay for what they
get and do everything they agree to,
and yet, we can't help but think they
are Of no benefit to the community at
large.
They have a JOSS house in which
they worship, have laws Of their own
which they recognize and obey, that
form no part of our statutes, and in fact
they have no more regard for our laws
than they haye for our religion. 1t has
been but a short time since one Of them
who had violated their laws, was sentenc-
ed by their court to be publicly whipped
and then expatriated. Fearing they
might get themselves into trouble they
called in a policeman to witness the
fogging, The culprit was taken into
the Joss house, stripped, and one of
them proceeded with a long timber
switch to carry out the sentence of the
court. The officer let him warm up the
victim to a yelling point, when he or
the e%xecutioner to desist which
he did. The fellow when released
the country.
THE dark side Of Chinese life we care
not 10 dwell upon. II is so we'll known,
it would be an often told tale. The
worse than deadly opium dens are

Indignant Rapidltes

The residents of Rapid, deeply in
censed at the usurpation of power upon
the part Of a minority Of the City Coun-
Gil in taking advantage Of the absence
of the mayor and one other member of
that body, to call a special meeting and
take such official action as was deem
ed revolutionary, d~isgraceful and
illegal, held an indignation meeting at
the Harvey Hotel in that place on the
18th inst. The following, taken from
the Republican of the 10Th gives the
result Of the meeting:
"The disgraceful proceedings publish
ed in yesterdays Republican, enacted
by an usurping minority of the mem
bers of the city council, and the truth
fitness Of their pollution, debauchery
and ~imbecility, rs outlined editorially
by this paper only, was the g of
calling together one of the largest meet
ings ever held on any similar occasion
in Rapid City. Early in the day a few
OF the active citizens had several hun
dred circulars printed and circulated
throughout the city, calling a meeting of

express from Germantown, Pa, two hen
pigeons-carriers or homing birds as
they are sometimes called. They cost
money, but then the pedigree that ac-

flight of 35S miles in North Carolina in
a few hours. The other, Blue Hen, is a
sister Of Alonzo Gordon, and he went
366 miles in a piece Of a day in North
Carolina last year. The birds are not a
